Key Facts about Vihangam Yoga:
- It is an Indian modality of Yoga and meditation, founded by Sadguru Sadafal Deo Ji Maharaj in 1924.
- The name is composed of two root words: “Vihag”, which means bird, and “Yog”, which means union.
- The name symbolises the idea of a bird that leaves the earth and flies high and free in the sky – the goal of Vihangam Yoga being our soul to be free of the attachment to the physical world and realise its true, free nature.
- Only then can one’s individual consciousness can unite with the universal consciousness (the Supreme Being) and reach permanent peace and bliss.
